The consultation proposed that the current legislation be repealed and new legislation be introduced to provide independent status for the Council; an extension of its remit to include the registration of FE lecturers as a separate, distinct staff grouping in its own right; and the widening of its disciplinary powers to include disciplinary orders short of prohibition from teaching. The joint Departmental Response to this consultation has now been published; this includes the next steps and way forward.
An irish language version of both the consultation and joint response document are included below.
